WARRINGTON Wolves' season continued to slide alarmingly this evening.
A nightmare start at Craven Park saw them trail Hull KR 20-0 with just 16 minutes gone, and they never recovered.
Peter Mata'utia, George Williams and Josh Thewlis scored their tries, but this was another desperate evening for Daryl Powell's side, who have now lost five games in a row.
Kick off had been delayed by 15 minutes after Wire's team coach was held up by traffic problems en route to Hull.
